They wouldn't have, Germany would've gone to war and destroyed Europe by then if they still had a Prussian monarchy. France, too, if they still had a Napoleonic monarchy. Russia would've collapsed sooner or later due to ineffective administration. Austria-Hungary was a ticking time bomb. China was a mess since adapting Western technology was nearly impossible under steppe nomad Manchu rule.

It can also be attributed to post monarchist nationalist ideology that saw Germans as the stewards of the world and other peoples as pests, as well as a populist reaction.
